Wanderung · Co. Sligo
Benbulbin
A 526 m table mountain above the Sligo country, with a flat top and a single sheer face — the mountain Yeats asked to be buried beneath, and the signature walk of the county.

Clooney More
A headland on the north coast of Sligo Bay and one of the best-known surf spots in Ireland — a place we describe here without a precise map, because the headland and its dunes are fragile and the land is not all public.
Baudenkmal · Co. Sligo
Drumcliff
The village on the N15 eight km north of Sligo where W. B. Yeats is buried in the churchyard of St. Columba’s, at the foot of Benbulbin, under an epitaph of his own writing.
Region · Co. Sligo
Lough Gill
The lake west of Sligo town, with Benbulbin on its north shore and the island of Innisfree — the one from Yeats’s “The Lake Isle of Innisfree” — in the middle of the water.
Landzunge · Co. Sligo
Sligo Head
The headland at the west end of Strandhill, where the coast turns: a car park on the cliff top, a short walk, and the 1835 Blackrock lighthouse — the only lighthouse in Ireland with an external staircase.
Dorf · Co. Sligo
Strandhill
The surf village on the north shore of Carribbeg Sound, eight km from Sligo town: one of the best beach breaks in Ireland, a 200-year-old thatched cottage, and the start of the Benbulbin walk.
Region · Co. Sligo
The Sligo Loop
A self-drive circuit around the Sligo country, starting and ending in Sligo town: Drumcliff, Benbulbin, Glencar, Lough Gill and Strandhill — the whole of Yeats country in a day.
